Western blot - Anti-SESN2/Sestrin-2 antibody [EPR18907] (AB178518)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-SESN2/Sestrin-2 antibody [EPR18907] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab178518 was shown to bind specifically to SESN2/Sestrin-2. A band was observed at 54 kDa in wild-type HEK-293 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in SESN2 knockout cell line ab269486 (knockout cell lysate ab269650). To generate this image, wild-type and SESN2 knockout HEK-293 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged.Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
Sestrin-2 regulates cell survival and homeostasis during oxidative stress conditions. It modulates the activity of key signaling pathways that control autophagy and cell growth. Sestrin-2 does not function alone but interacts with other proteins to form functional complexes. This allows it to fine-tune cellular processes and contributes to its role in promoting cell repair mechanisms. Its induction during stress conditions demonstrates its engagement in promoting cellular adaptation and resistance to damage.
Pathways
Sestrin-2 engages in signaling networks such as the AMPK and mTOR pathways. Its interaction with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) triggers energy homeostasis and metabolic stress responses. It also negatively regulates the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) to support autophagy and inhibit cell growth when necessary. Sestrin-2 therefore plays an important role in coordinating responses between these pathways ensuring optimal cellular function during periods of environmental stress or nutrient deprivation.
